Re: Please help me understand province "supplies"
Most units in the game eat. (Some don't, and they have the "Need not eat" icon to show that.) Those units which eat comsume supplies equal to their Size -1. So a Jotun giant of size 4 eats 3 units per month, while a human of size 2 eats 1 unit. Avoid piling too many troops in one spot unless you have means to feed them all. Nature mages create surplus food at a rate of 5 units per level of Nature magic path that they have. Various magic items also provide for extra food.
Rather than repeat for the Nth time all this info, I recommend that you do a forum SEARCH on the topics "supply" or "supplies", in the message body. There have been several excellent threads that have covered this in the past few months.
